Tresseme VS. Burt's Bees


We will be discussing the following two brands websites and how effective they are in terms of visual representation.




Tresseme's Homepagee
Below is a chart listing all of there SEO results. SEO is Search Engine Optimization. The more effective there search engine optimization is, the easier consumers can locate there website and the format of the website will help consumers navigate more easily.


Tresseme's advantage is it’s use of good website design quality and the good number of keywords. Also, It has advantage of the good contrast of text and it’s backgrounds on  it’s website since most consumers prefer the information to be easily read. Burt’s Bees advantage is that it provides a lot of information for a visitor on the homepage, most consumers can find their information quickly, and can easily navigate due to the high number of call-to-actions. Another observation is that Tresseme ranked 7 when you searched “shampoo” whereas Burt’s Bees was not even present on the first page. Both websites have various links leading to various shampoos and products and are easily accessible.

Burt's Bees Homepage
In the hair care industry; Tresseme and Burt’s Bees are one of the leading brands, but I believe Tresseme showcased a better website. This is due to the nice layout of the website, and the nice display of information of the photos and information in a simple, and easy to navigate way. Also the use of the keywords “volume” “strength” and “moisturize” helps a user find the website much more easily.
